Julia sent a postcard of Ukrainian embroidery:
Hello Sandra!
This is ‘rushnyk’ and it’s a very precious thing which symbolises love and unity of the family. Girls make it even nowa days and it’s an obligatory accessory at the Ukranian weddings.
Wish you all the best,

Awwww! There is a beautiful song in Ukranian where the daughter sings of her appreciation to her mom who hand made her “rushnyk”.
